I would not work in Oakland if they paid me $5,000 per hour in untraceable CASH. PAID EVERY HOUR.

“Really, can anyone (with sense) believe the level of stupidity in the elected positions. Those charged with managing some of the greatest cities are dumb as a bag of hammers.”

Not dumb...evil. We might as well learn to accept it, or they’ll simply keep spinning us around.
